Forbidden Root — Summer Beer Cocktail Series

Michael KiserJuly 23, 2014

This summer, Good Beer Hunting and Forbidden Root are teaming up to bring you a Botanic Beer Cocktail Tour featuring some of GBH's favorite beer-focused cocktail programs in Chicago.

The flavors of Forbidden Root's botanic beers are entirely unique, and GBH thought they'd feature perfectly in a series of beer cocktails. My friends at Smallbar, Dusek's, Bad Apple, Longman & Eagle, and Trenchermen are always experimenting with new flavors, and I thought Forbidden Root's new-to-market beers were a great, fun challenge.

Each of Forbidden Root's "Botanic Beers" will get a chance to shine in the series. The root-beer like flavors of the namesake brew, the ginger and lime flavors of Sublime, and the nutty, spicy quality of Shady Character all offer a ton of flavor, aroma, and effervescence in a cocktail alongside locally-produced bourbons, rums, gins and other liquors. The exotic spice blends and brewing techniques put Forbidden Root's offerings in a totally different category than hoppy summer beers.

Check back more more details as the series continues! No tickets needed.
